"share text" behavior of a pop-Up menu included in a background

[David Bovill]

Yes - there is but you have to include a very simple script in the popup
menu to dynamically create the menu. Mac people call them context menus:

on mouseDown
  put the text of fld 1 into menuText    # I prefer to use custom properties
of the card
  set the text of me to menuText
  pass mouseDown
end mouseDown

on menuPick....
